Health benefits of this Chocolate Chai
Cacao (or cocoa) comes from the seed of the cocoa tree. The cacao powder in this product is sourced from Ecuador. Note that chocolate is the solidified version with the addition of cocoa butter and sugar. The proportions or percentages of cocoa indicate how dark the chocolate may be. Instead of using processed chocolate for this recipe, we opted for the raw cocoa so that we can continue to tap into reducing sugar intake and still gain the benefit of naturally occurring polyphenols and antioxidants that may help combat destructive molecules within the body.
The honey is sourced from sustainable beekeepers who ensure that the bees are pesticide-free. Honey aids with the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain) and hormones like melatonin and serotonin which can enhance the quality of sleep.
Cinnamon and cardamom from the masala chai may help stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol in addition to their anti inflammatory properties. While ginger assists with the processes of digestion.
This chocolate chai is a delightful and indulgent twist on traditional chai or spiced tea. It combines the rich flavors of cacao and honey with the aromatic spices of masala chai. This warm and comforting beverage is perfect for cozy evenings or as a special treat.
